Urgent action needed on illegal drones and online fraud: Amit Shah | India News – Times of India
NEW DELHI: Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday stressed the need for the country’s security and law enforcement agencies to tackle emerging national security challenges such as narcotics, unwanted drones and online fraud “before they become major challenges”.
In his concluding remarks at the two-day conference on national security strategies, which was attended by top police officials, domain experts and young officers working at the highest levels, Shah urged the state DGPs to work towards realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a ‘prosperous, strong and developed India by 2047’. He proposed a strategy to counter-terrorism efforts through cooperation with international bodies, enhanced capacity to curb terrorist financing, and seamless coordination between the National Bureau of Investigation and States’ counter-terrorism teams (ATS) in terrorism investigations.
While expressing satisfaction over the “substantial progress” in resolving the existing national security challenges such as terrorism in J&K, left-wing extremism and the uprising in the northeast, the Interior Ministry warned in particular those states that had recently been successful in liberating areas from armed left-wing extremist formations to remain vigilant.
Regarding the implementation of the three new penal codes, Shah urged police chiefs to ensure that the constitutional rights of citizens are protected and that victims receive swift justice.
Shah also urged young officers to focus their minds on finding solutions to combat the entire gamut of fraudulent financial transactions.
